How do you know when your in labour? Or ready to ring up? People keep saying you will know but I just don't think I…

Thanks guys xxx

I had no signs I was going to go into labour (waters didn't break, didn't have a show, no backache or cramps) I did however go into labour on my due date. Around lunch time I went for a pee and when I went to stand up I got this pain that was nothing like I had had before, i just ignored it but between then and 5 pm the pain kept coming but the time between each pain dropped every time, after about 3 or 4 pains I decided to start timing and counting when I got it and by 3pm they where happening every 20 mins by 4/5 every 5-10 mins so I rang the hospital to which her reply was 'Oh but it's your due date' as if I was panicking about it being due date being dramatic 😂I got a pain while on the phone and couldnt talk so i burst out crying so she knew i eas having one and she said come up, we will check you over but you will probably be sent home.... I got outside the hospital at 6pm and I was having pains almost 1 minute apart, they left me until 7pm to check me and I was 3cm by then so was kept in .... you'll defo know when it happens wether you have other signs or not, the contractions will be a different kind of pain, even if you don't find them too painful, I was totally fine until about 8.30/9ish.... good luck, youl be fine and youl defo know 😃 x

Few things can happen either waters break, you loose plug then with blood, or you have regular contractions which get very painful and close together. You will know adventually hun xxx
